I'm kind of new to the stock market. I've never really spent much time buying and trading. Any advice on where to start learning?

I've got a 2 year with another on the way and I'm starting to think college, etc. for my little ones.

Any help is appreciated.

Every couple of months buy shares in a target retirement fund with the money you save. It's a very simple strategy that actually does quite well over the long haul.

This. Or if you want a little more hands on, do that with 75% of the money and with the remaining 25% watch 3 stocks extremely closely and only invest where you know the company will grow over the long haul.

Depends on the amount you plan on investing. Less than $10,000 go with mutual funds. Do you know which brokerage firm you will be using?

Broad, low cost index funds with Vanguard. Set up automatic investment once a week. Forget that you've done so for the next couple of decades. Profit.
